T.D.L Plantation Trinidad Mezcal Cask (Luxembourg Shops) 2016

Grapefruit peel, lime and a clear smoky-mineral mezcal streak run through this Trinidad column-still rum, and the two sides genuinely share the glass rather than fight. One taster warns the palate scrapes the tongue "jak šmirglpapír" before settling into fruit, then the cask brings roasted notes to a dry, slightly hot finish. Members like the pairing but wish it had more depth.

First RumX meeting. A fairly soft nose with a basket of fruits, fresh fruits, citrus and wood in support. A start to the palate both soft and fruity, balanced. The aromas rise then fall, a pity! The finish is rather short, you feel the influence of Mezcal. A very nice TDL but it lacks power and/or age.

In contrast to other, diluted and cask finished Trinidad Distillers, the beautiful original distillate can still be clearly found here. The mezcal complements it. As a Trinidad fan, I really like this bottling. Slightly alcoholic finish as a drop of bitterness.

The mezcal influence is clearly present. The typical tdl profile can also be tasted. A little flat at the beginning. Could do with longer storage.

Angostura is famous for a bottle most people never drink neat. The bitters house founded in 1824 became Trinidad's only rum distillery, and its arm Trinidad Distillers makes a clean, column-distilled, Spanish-style rum unlike the heavy funk of Jamaica or Guyana. The same plant still guards the secret recipe for the world's most famous cocktail bitters.
